Iron Maiden vocalist praises Gaga wanting to be the next, talks Madonna...

[GloZell Green 11,723]

Nicole Scherzinger proved to be a fantastic opera singer, Ariana Grande proved herself as a great broadway performer and interpreter, P!nk has godly rock vocals and Kelly had showcased amazing Jazz & folk vocals. Gaga's not the only artist of the new wave to broadcast her diversity as a musician you know. Madonna's impact on culture and the music industry has yet to be matched by any other female artist, she's still the Queen of Pop. 

It's always entertaining seeing you people give Gaga full credit for the C2C era when in reality the people paid so much to see Tony first and foremost, and it's pretty dull to say the the Grammy C2C received was because of Tony, he's always been the Grammy's favorite artist.

 

 

 

Uh oh, it seems like you're still trying! They haven't merely sold as much as Gaga though, have they? Sorry that your fave was shaded, the Queen title is made to be passed on honey, that's how it works, but Gaga doesn't need that title to know she made a great impact  Madonna did make an impact, but so did Gaga.

 

Are you serious Your delusional self is still in denial? Don't start using that excuse on us! She still got number one with her two previous solo efforts. But I can say that about the BIM video that you seemed to be celebrating, seeing as how the cameos were the only reason that the video has views. Or are you going to tell me that her other two solo videos from the era have as much views

She doesn't have Madonnas unmatchable stamina, nor Iron Maidens authenticity as rock performers. So I guess she's none of those legends, but she has a good voice like many other pop stars so that counts for something! 

This is not a marathon run. This is music. Gaga doesn't need that "unmatchable stamina" that you talk about. And Gaga has always been praised by all kinds of rock performers. She started out as a rock performer herself. She definitely has "rock authenticity". 

[lego 44,165]

Plenty of pop stars excel in multiple genres : Nicole Scherzinger, Ariana Grande, P!nk, Christina Aguilera, Allie X, Kelly Clarkson and many more. Gaga's not the first and surely not the last to showcase diversity. I guess we can call them the next Iron Maiden as well can't we?

She is the same person that personally thanked Madonna on her Fame CD booklet, claimed to be "the hugest fan personally and professionally of Madonna", named Madge as her main inspiration while writing Born This Way along with Prince, admitted she set a goal to recreate the revolution Madonna launched three decades ago and the list goes on. One mini backlash later and she already denies Madonna as an inspiration on her interview with Greek People Magazine, says she does not want to be compared to Madonna and makes a ridiculous, out of the blue statement that she wants to be the next Iron Maiden under the theory that her fans are identical in terms of spirit and personality when it couldn't be any further from the truth. Any human being with a rational thought process would see through her ingenuine attempt to distance herself from the Madonna comparisons, which is okay by the way, It all revolves around how she chose to handle this scenario and how badly she contradicts herself.

 

 

 

It's been 7 years - get over it. 

Madonna was one of MANY inspirations. Queen of Pop is limited title, she does not want her ****ing crown.

Gaga cannot be compared to any artist you mentioned, cause Gaga is whole package on another level and she keeps surprising people and getting praise from rock and metal legends. No one cares about shrezzgggginger or what her name is.

ikr. what she needs is a true connection with her fans and artistic integrity. something that madonna clearly lacks when taking her latest efforts into account. her innovative days are over. she became a bandwagoner herself.

it seems that people have to get over ARTPOP, but getting over madonna—and her exaggerated influence on gaga's artistry—is blasphemy.

B-b-but.. i like Madonna...

P!nk sold more albums than Gaga and Kelly sold just as much...

How can you compare Gaga's impact to Madonna's? You don't even have to be a Madonna fan to know that's delusional. Madonna changed the entire system, directly influenced what we still see and hear today. Gaga has made temporary impact, but nothing as grand as that. Yet, anyway. Sure, she played within the system like no one around her at the time, but she did not break any rules, did not set new standards, and if her career ended today there is not one change she'd be directly responsible for. Is there even such a change even visible in pop culture today compared to what Madonna brought to the table?

Gaga not providing that huge impact isn't even a problem, it's fans like you who consider that a MUST and anyone dismissing that suggestion must necessarily be a hater. If Gaga will be remembered for anything specific in terms of impact, it would be her strategy in social media and the use of new media to attract and keep a fanbase, yes, but ironically that's the only impact her fanbase never discusses

I don't see the point of your last sentence as well, if there is anyone that hates the current Madonna (musically speaking) it's going to be me, I never denied and actually was always vocal about my opinions on Rebel Heart, I'd dare you to find one positive comment I made regarding that embarrassing album.

¿Cree que con los años usted ha sepultado la caricatura del metalero? Usted escribe libros, promueve el deporte…

No me importa eso, de verdad, porque no hago esas cosas para impresionar o para romper clichés. Lo hago porque lo disfruto y me gusta ser exitoso en cada una de las actividades que emprendo. Si la gente quiere decir que no pertenezco a cierta categoría de artista, francamente no me importa. 

La llegada de su banda es tan transversal que hasta Lady Gaga dijo que quería ser “la próxima Iron Maiden” y usó una polera de ustedes. 

Claro, ella dijo que preferiría ser Iron Maiden que Madonna. Yo también prefiero ser un Iron Maiden a ser Madonna. Básicamente, porque Gaga puede cantar de verdad, porque la he escuchado cantar de verdad. Tiene una excelente voz. Y tengo dudas qué tan buena es la voz de Madonna, quizás ha tomado algunas clases, pero me gusta mucho más que alguien como Lady Gaga se presente a unos premios vestida como sándwich de tocino. ¡Eso es genial! Y con respecto a la polera, yo le puedo comprar una nueva. Sé que ella prefiere tener integridad en vez de ser sólo otra estrella de pop.

Translation:

Of course she said she preferred to be the next Iron Maiden, rather than the next Madonna. I also prefer to be an Iron Maiden than a Madonna. Basically because Gaga can actually sing, because I have heard her sing. And she has an amazing voice. And I have doubts on how good is Madonna's voice, maybe she has trained it, but I like it more when someone like Lady Gaga shows up at awards with a meat dress. That is amazing! And about the t-shirt, I can buy her a new one. I know she prefers to have integrity instead of being just another popstar.

But she deliberately stated that she wants to be compared to Iron Maiden. Therefor, she does want to be compared to other artists. It's just a matter of what feeds her ego best at her current state of career. Or at least that's how I see it, with no aim to offend of course.

No one cares about Nicole, huh? what happened to talent before success? I guess it only works for Gaga.

[Kabexuela 1,184]

maybe a member on an online pop forum has more knowledge about music than these legends u mentioned  

 

****tie rebuttal girl.  Lego said it best, finger lickin' good

If we're strictly talking about music then this whole case should be closed : Iron Maiden are rock, Gaga is pop.

I  propose you a challenge: are you able not  to bring up Madonna on a single Gaga thread?

[Quark 7,098]

Iron Maiden is rock, and Gaga is MOSTLY pop. But even if she is mostly pop, that is not the only thing that she is. She done jazz, ballads, rock, ect. And like I said, she does have rock authenticity, specially if you talk to all of those rock legends that have praised as the real deal and want her to do rock music.

Madonna is literally the core of this thread though.  what an illogical suggestion.

You said it's about the music, where is her rock discography?
